If you have the following in control/virtualdomains:
foo.org:foo
bar.com:bar
you can have entries like the following in your poppasswd file:
foo-joeblow:$1$M14AAVdd$L9PxbFmKINwEtIabcdefg.:popuser:/var/qmail/popboxes/foo-org/joeblow/
bar-joeblow:$1$M14AAVdd$L9PxbFmKINwEtIhijklmn.:popuser:/var/qmail/popboxes/bar-com/joeblow/
User [EMAIL PROTECTED] would use foo-joeblow for his POP user name, and user
[EMAIL PROTECTED] would use bar-joeblow for his POP user name. This allows you to
have any number of accounts with the same name, so long as they're in different
domains.
